Overview of this book

Qt 5.7 is an application development framework that provides a great user experience and develops full-capability applications with Qt Widgets, QML, and even Qt 3D. This book will address challenges in successfully developing cross-platform applications with the Qt framework. Cross-platform development needs a well-organized project. Using this book, you will have a better understanding of the Qt framework and the tools to resolve serious issues such as linking, debugging, and multithreading. Your journey will start with the new Qt 5 features. Then you will explore different platforms and learn to tame them. Every chapter along the way is a logical step that you must take to master Qt. The journey will end in an application that has been tested and is ready to be shipped.

Preface

Displaying thumbnails in a GridView


The next step is to display these thumbnails. Create a new QML file named AlbumPage.qml:

import QtQuick 2.6 
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.3 
import QtQuick.Controls 2.0 
import "." 
 
PageTheme { 
 
    property string albumName 
    property int albumRowIndex 
 
    toolbarTitle: albumName 
 
    GridView { 
        id: thumbnailList 
        model: pictureModel 
        anchors.fill: parent 
        anchors.leftMargin: 10 
        anchors.rightMargin: 10 
        cellWidth : thumbnailSize 
        cellHeight: thumbnailSize 
 
        delegate: Rectangle { 
            width: thumbnailList.cellWidth - 10 
            height: thumbnailList.cellHeight - 10 
            color: "transparent" 
 
            Image { 
                id: thumbnail 
                anchors.fill: parent 
                fillMode: Image.PreserveAspectFit 
                cache: false 
                source: "image://pictures/" + index + "/thumbnail" 
            } 
        } 
    ...
